Valery Mitkos-Philip

An honours graduate of Seneca College Marketing & Business program. After three years in the marketing industry working with large corporate business, I decided to return to school to study Natural Healthcare. In 1999 I graduated from The Institute of Aromatherapy in Toronto, Canada. Early in my practice I began to treat clients with cancer, AIDs, cystic fibrosis, depression and other health issues. I expanded my practice to include nutrtitional counselling. After much encouragement from a close friend and colleague, Cynthia Funk, owner of The Yoga Sanctuary in Toronto, I decided to study as a yoga instructor. Upon successful completion of my 250 hour teacher training, I began to guide others on their yoga journey. It is a great pleasure to see my yoga students explore and evolve through their yoga practice. I have owned and operated my own wellness centre and yoga studio as well as have taught in large public forums like conferences, conventions and tradeshows. I look forward to continuing to guide others on their journey of health, relaxation and joy through yoga and aromatherapy. I am comfortable and adaptable to new environments and challenges.
